You’ll be a lot lighter with all that heavy privately earned money weighing you down.
The plane ticket would be cheaper, too. I can fly from Columbus to Chicago for $39 each way if I plan it right.
Heck! I can cruise at 110 in my 20 year old Lexus! And be really comfortable, and listen to music blastin’, snack, stop for a good lunch, and enjoy myself! And it would cost less than the train.
Of course I’d probably end up in jail,,,,,,,,,,,,
You know there will be cost overruns and we’ll end up footing the bill for daily operations like we do AmTrak. And has anyone done a cost analysis? How will it impact the airline industry? Will the gov’t seize land to do this? Will we have our taxes increase to subsidize this? If there was a real need for it, the market would have stepped in.
We’re in the middle of a bad recession and these idiots want to create another possible boondoggle???
What a frickin’ waste of money. How about spending the money on better roads and more of them?
110mph is a local train in Europe.
Its so funny. There was an ‘Interurban’ along the old route 66 back in the 30’s and 40’s. It went BROKE!!!. Obama (Keynes) strikes again.
All that money for up to a 30mph increase in the top speed of a regular train?
Somebody is nuts.
Choo choo ping.
